Well, it’s certainly an act of hatred.

Because rapists just LOVE WOMEN TOO MUCH, poor things! Why can’t you feminist sluts understand?!

Well, quite. And of course, this is only of rapes reported to the police. Once you take into account the vast numbers of victims who (understandably) don’t report, the number becomes entirely negligible. But by God, we have to consider how terrified men are of the POSSIBILITY of being that (generous) one in fifty…

Well - yes, but sadly another measure of evolutionary success, is the point at which we stop adapting to our environment, and start adapting the environment to suit us, so we leap up the chain by virtue of successfully f***ing up the planet.

About 3.5% of crime in the UK is false reporting, and for a long time, it looked as though rape was falsely reported at pretty much the same rate as the overall figure.

Right.

Most people suffering psychosis have a hard enough time tying their shoelaces. Poor guy probably didn’t know what the hell was going on. Someone in that room needs to take responsibility for this tragic farce.

Well, there’s two clear solutions to that:

I cut friends out of my life for voting Conservative. People who vote for policies, which kill vulnerable people, aren’t friends. Haven’t missed them for a nanosecond.

A bit off topic, I know, but can I just say - fuck your ex. Fuck his pitiful hide to the moon and back.

I had this a couple of months ago, when “my” government made another attack on disabled people, and all I could muster was “What..? Really..? Right. They can’t just round us up and shoot us..? Okay...”

I need to add more stars.

Wow, that really is taking one for the team....

Sadly, I don’t, but that’s also helpful, because I live under a borderline fascist government, who like to take money from disabled poor people, who dare to have spare bedrooms.

Well - yes, but do you remember that sense of soul-draining despair, the morning after the elections, knowing that we had 5 more years of Tories, and you were going to have to walk past people in the street who were dumb and selfish enough to vote for them?

Oh, I don’t know, it always looked a pretty short hop to dystopia, to me. Trump’s just providing the damn springboard. :-(

My secret, desperate hope, is that some clever people in the White House have some contingency plan, in the event of his winning. Possibly along the lines of “Congratulations, Mr President! No, I can assure you, that keeping you in a locked, windowless room, with no telephone, and relaying all your orders through us,…

I do get it. And I think you’re allowed to feel a little stung, no one working to be a good ally wants to be thought of as part of the problem. But you recognise that it isn’t about you, you don’t divert the conversation (cf. whiny #NotAllMen), you carry on boosting the signal, you carry on being an ally. You’re doing…

I do understand where you’re coming from*, but the only way to reframe it, is to look at some non-privileged aspect of yourself. Otherwise it’s just #NotAllWhitePeople

Margaret Atwood was a fucking prophet.
